SAN CLEMENTE – Deputies were stumped Friday morning as they canvassed a local neighborhood where a 22-year-old man went missing a week earlier. No one has heard or seen from him since, officials said.

Orange County Sheriff’s Department officials were searching about a mile-stretch of neighborhood starting at 8 a.m. Friday on Avenida Pico between El Camino Real and the I-5 freeway for Nick Stevens, a 22-year-old New York native who moved to San Clemente three months ago.

Stevens was last seen around 9 p.m. Nov. 6 after he spent the evening dining and drinking with friends he works with at a commercial landscaping business.

He moved to San Clemente three months ago after graduating college on the East Coast to be a landscape architect, sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

Stevens and his friends went to multiple locations within the city before Stevens got a ride home. He could not remember his address and was dropped off at a 7-Eleven, 1802 N. El Camino Real, near his home.

“Something is not right,” Hallock said. “We don’t have anything that points to his disappearance being criminal or foul play, but we’re concerned because he hasn’t tried to reach out to anyone, used his credit cards or cellphone.”

Stevens, who has no known mental or physical health problems, is described as having brown eyes and hair, 5-foot-3 and 100 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and brown/white Vans shoes.

“Stevens was not wearing eyeglasses and has poor vision if his contacts were not in his eyes,” the department stated.

Deputies planned to search the mostly commercial area into Friday afternoon until the area on Avenida Pico had been searched.

“We plan to see if they can come up with something that can give us any more clues,” Hallock said.

Anyone who has any information about Stevens’ whereabouts is asked to contact Orange County Sheriff’s Department officials at 714-647-7000 or 714-647-7044.
